Schatzke I was using the crystal for color I guess if it was less I'd get the same but less abv. I like my IPAs both big bitter grape fruity bombs. I will be reading more and experimenting on brew days in the future. Thanks again

I've come around to the brulosphy.com way of thinking. 5 days at fermenting temp (depending on the yeast and gravity) then 5 days slowly raising temp. cold crash, gelatin, for a couple days and Package. It's not original to them but where I read it.

day tripper I designed it on Beersmith. I was at 1.071 OG. Estimated ABV would be 7.4 I think Yard ipa is around 7 so its not that high, really? I had Falconer hops in it but I thought my head would explode drinking it. Thanks retract last statement with Falconers Flight it would only be 55...

Schatzke Wasn't planning on dry hopping. So moving the 30 and 15 minute hops to 5 would lower ibu's? What does cutting the crystal do for the beer? Just trying to learn from everyone

Well I don't see why... yet. I may come around to your way of thinking in the future

First time using beersmith and it was awesome. Brewed a oatmeal stout and it was the smoothest brew day yet. I mashed in a little low 153 but all the amounts came out perfectly. I'll never brew without it. As far as the water profile I use campden tablets to get rid of the chlorine. Can't wait...

Well the Raz Wheat turned out pretty good. I mashed in low 148f, had some problems with the braided screen. I almost ruined the beer but it still turned out ok. Doesn't have a good head, maybe because of the low mash? But it's beer and this is the first brew that I think is good CHEERS

Never mind

Thanks I've got a long way to go before I'm really proud of my brewing. Two test subjects (friends) liked my Pliny clone even tho it was way off, but I like learning and reading the forums. Still learning my system my AG pale ale was my first and I made a great wet cardboard beer. Oxidized it...

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm 50 Just started brewing and I love it. I've been reading a lot of the older posts and I'll try not to repeat any old questions. I'm on my second A/G batch, it's a wheat. Adding raspberry puree in secondary in a couple weeks. I've learned a lot from Yooper and Revy...

I am using the big utility tub with rope handles filled with water and ice bottles to the beer line with Yoopers idea with the foam layers on top and I wrap the tub with a blanket and I'm hoping this will help with the high temps and humidity in phila. area My floating thermometer stays around 68f
